Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Chapter 205 Not happy anymore

As soon as another villager said this, there was a burst of laughter at the scene. Even the scandal about Li Meifen and Xu Yan that was being discussed heatedly just now could not make people so happy.

However, the speaker did not mean it, but the listener took it seriously.

Zhong Qingqing, who was eating quietly at the side, secretly kept the news in mind. Shortly after Li Meifen was called away, she quietly packed up her lunch box and rushed back to her dormitory.

Since someone went to the cafeteria to remind Li Meifen to go back to the dormitory to pack her luggage and prepare to return to the city, it means that before that, Li Meifen had already received a notice in advance that the village would arrange for her to return to the city.

Zhong Qingqing blinked. As a sent-down youth, if she was among those returning to the city, the village would certainly notify her at the same time.

With this understanding, Zhong Qingqing relaxed a little, but she didn't stop. She soon stood at the door of her dormitory, listening to the two or three conversations coming from time to time.

"So you were also arranged to go back to the city." The female educated youth who returned to the city in the same batch as Li Meifen looked reluctant, but was still packing her luggage.

"Ah."

Zhong Qingqing couldn't see Li Meifen's expression from where she was standing, but based on her understanding of Li Meifen, she could tell that Li Meifen was obviously in a bad mood after she gave such a bland agreement.

Somehow, although Li Meifen was in a bad mood, Zhong Qingqing couldn't feel happy either.

This time it was Li Meifen and other young women, but who knows, it might be her turn next time.

Although she missed home very much during the first few months after going to the countryside, unlike the conditions of other educated youth's families, she knew clearly what might happen in the next year or so.

Many educated youth could not find good jobs after returning to the city.

She had stayed at home almost all the time before she took the college entrance exam last time, and she could do almost nothing until she knew for sure that the exam would be resumed.

In comparison, it would be better to continue staying in the production team. Although it is just a remote and poor place, at least there is a stable salary.

And the most important thing is that Xu Yan is here.

Li Meifen may not know how important money is to young people like them, but Zhong Qingqing knows the importance of money. The times will definitely change in the future, and something that you value now may become worthless in the future.

"Alas, we have been here for several years and have developed feelings for the place. We are suddenly notified to leave, and I really feel reluctant! Moreover, the notification was so hasty, as if they were trying to kick us out. I feel bad."

The young woman from the next dormitory who was talking to Li Meifen was complaining in a random manner, while Li Meifen hardly said anything and just responded to her mechanically.

Obviously he has his own concerns.

Zhong Qingqing, who was outside the door, didn't even need to think about what Li Meifen was worried about to know what she was thinking.

It's simply because I have to go back to the city, and now there are so many fierce rumors about the city in the towns and villages, so I'm afraid and reluctant to leave.

After standing outside the door for a while and listening to some bland conversations, Zhong Qingqing suddenly thought of a way to delay her return to the city.

While the lunch break was not yet over, Zhong Qingqing gave up the plan of going back to the production team to continue working with Xu Yan, and turned straight to Secretary Wang's office.

Even if you can't find Secretary Wang in the office, you might be lucky enough to find a few team leaders around Secretary Wang, or even the village chief.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the day?" A young man who was standing guard outside the village party secretary's office saw Zhong Qingqing walking towards him from a distance and shouted from afar.

"I have a question for Secretary Wang." Zhong Qingqing smiled sweetly and scratched her parallel ponytails with both hands, giving people an extremely sweet, innocent and harmless feeling.

"Secretary Wang is taking a lunch break now. What did you want to see him about? Just tell me directly." The young man at the door did not let Zhong Qingqing pass, but his tone did soften.

"Who is outside? Let her in. I just woke up." Suddenly, Secretary Wang's somewhat tired voice came from inside. Zhong Qingqing, who was outside the door, hurriedly ran into the office with light footsteps.

"Secretary Wang, are the educated youth from our village going to return to the city one after another?" Zhong Qingqing asked hurriedly as soon as she ran into the house.

When he saw that the person coming was Zhong Qingqing, Secretary Wang's eyes, which were originally narrowed, suddenly widened a little.

"I just happened to be looking for you. Please sit down. I have something to tell you."

Faced with Secretary Wang's tone and manner, it was hard for Zhong Qingqing not to think of something bad. She pulled over a stool and sat down in front of Secretary Wang cautiously.

"Our village is now arranging for the educated youth who went to the countryside to return to the city. The other educated youth are all fine, but you are a little special."

Secretary Wang, who had just woken up from his lunch break, rubbed his blurry eyes, grabbed the reading glasses beside him and put them on.

Zhong Qingqing didn't dare to move and just listened quietly to what Secretary Wang continued to say.

Could it be that the villagers wanted to hold her accountable because of her previous relationship with Yan Wenming, or because of her involvement with the Xu family?

"Other young people are working in the production team, but you are working in the clinic. The clinic is a technical job that requires certain medical knowledge. Apart from you, no one else in our village has the ability to be a nurse."

The moment Secretary Wang finished speaking, Zhong Qingqing's tense heart instantly relaxed.

She thought of this when she was standing at the dormitory door just now.

Compared with other educated youth, this is her only advantage.

She could also do the work in the production team that other educated youth were able to do, but other young people might not be able to do the medical work that they did in the health center.

That's why she had the courage to come to Secretary Wang to ask about this matter.

It was just as she guessed!

"Then..." Zhong Qingqing wanted to ask further tentatively.

"So I was just thinking of asking you to come over. Our village wants to arrange for a young man from the village to study at your clinic, just to learn some of the medical knowledge you have. After the young man has learned it, we will arrange for you to return to the city. Do you think this is feasible?"

As Secretary Wang spoke, he opened the drawer under his desk and took out a neatly arranged stack of papers.

"Don't worry, the village won't let you do this for nothing. Starting tomorrow, you will get double the work points for our village sanitation until the day you leave."

Zhong Qingqing was flattered and her eyes immediately lit up. Is there such a good thing? She was already happy enough to be able to stay in the village for a few more days, but now she can get twice as much money!

"Okay, of course, no problem, but I want to ask... When will the last batch of us educated youth return to the city?"
